rowdyb Posted October 1, 2017 Share Posted October 1, 2017 That shot to the left of the left hay bale? Most in my squad shot just did body shots straight through the hay and had scoreable hits in the body down zero with little muss or fear of a 20 yard head shot. The dudes who shot 4 as insurance felt kinda silly having 4 -0 hits in the body once they walked down hahhhaha. And thank you, mission accomplished as it were.

Was hoping someone in our squad would shoot body to verify they would score good. Everyone went headshot though. Was a odd match with no hard cover, steel or movers. Didn't feel that there many places to make up time. Mostly came down to stage 12 standards and not face planting in the mud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted October 2, 2017 Share Posted October 2, 2017 I rocked the head shot standards, with a 10th overall for the match finish on that stage. Funnily enough I bobbled on many of the easier stages. As you can see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted October 17, 2017 Share Posted October 17, 2017 I just watched Rowdy's video. Anybody else think it looked like USPSA/IPSC stages? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I did. After I shot one local match with the new cover lines (foot faults) it was immediately apparent that IDPA would no longer be shooting from cover. The old shoot them as you see them no longer applies since if you position yourself right on the cover line you can often see them all and have to remember what order to shoot them. I didn't have enough interest left in me to go to the Nats this year, first one that I missed in the last 14 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowdyb Posted October 29, 2017 Share Posted October 29, 2017 Some of that is that I do shoot a lot of uspsa and have that kind of movement and "style". There are some people you could watch their videos and they look more idpa-ish while shooting the match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fault lines can be placed so that you have a ton of room to engage targets or they can be placed in a way that it’s a PIA to engage what you need. Not to change the subject, but are you still shooting with same crew down in Austin and S.A.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Nesbitt Posted October 30, 2017 Share Posted October 30, 2017 Looked like an awful lot of running. Is there still a limit on how far you are supposed to have to move in a stage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked this one up and found.. 6.6.12 Required shooter movement under their own power of more than 10 yards between firing points is not permitted. Total required shooter movement under their own power of more than 20 yards is not permitted Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to change the subject, but are you still shooting with same crew down in Austin and S.A.? It looks like now instead of subjective cover calls we have subjective placement of the fault lines defining cover. It would be nice to come up with a way of mandating where the lines would be placed so that we don't have a wide array with the line set for the innermost target and ending up with USPSA firing positions. To your other question, I haven't been to Austin much or shot much IDPA in San Antonio the last year. I have been kicking back and enjoying some Steel Challenge shooting and putting on a monthly steel match in Bandera. The steel has been fun, no thinking, planning, and no arguments over rules, just listen for the beep and step on the gas. I think it was Max Michel that said it was drag racing with a handgun. It's been a nice change for a while. I'm a firm believer in doing what's fun and gives you some enjoyment. When something loses its fun factor I do something different.
